Detailed Answer:
Hello
I really appreciate your concern.
Height of an individual depends upon genetics and environmental factors
And after a certain age( 20 to 25 years) growing ends of long bones starts start fusing and further growth stops.

I would like to know about the height of your siblings and parents if they are taller than you than you may get some height till the age of 25 years

Here I would like to advise you, please beware of various products claims to increase height.

I would advise you for stretching exercises and well balanced nutritious diet for optimum growth an over all healthy bones.
Have calcium supplements with multivitamins.

Hope this answers your question
Please let me know if you have any more doubts.
Best wishes
Note: For detailed guidance on genetic screening consult a genetics specialist
